This album of rarely heard piano music by Mendelssohn displays the composer’s wide emotional range and features two youthful sonatas, composed when he was just eleven years old. Pianist Christopher Williams has previously recorded acclaimed albums of music by Semyon Barmotin for Grand Piano (GP799, 865, 866) and makes his Naxos label debut with this album.

“Christopher Williams’s programme of little-known piano pieces, ranging from right across Mendelssohn’s all-too-short career is engaging and fascinating in equal measure… When as well played as here, such an album is a little treasure trove …”
Guy Rickards – International Piano – January/February 2024
